Mission Statement

“We work across the content and tech sectors advocating for  responsibility-by-design legal and policy frameworks that are underpinned by fair and robust liability regimes.

We firmly believe that this will ensure that AI achieves it’s potential on a long-lasting foundation that also protects consumers (particularly children), society, culture, democratic values, and creators.

ARIAM’S THREE FOUNDATIONAL PILLARS

1

AI TOOLS OFFER CREATIVE OPPORTUNITIES

For creators, publishers, and media companies AI can add significant value to, and open new avenues for, the human-centric content creation process.

2

WE BELIEVE IN AI’s PROMISE, WHEN IT’S DONE RIGHT

AI’s success depends on how thoughtfully it’s integrated into creative and cultural ecosystems. Done right, it can strengthen copyright, reward talent, entertain and educate consumers, and empower content companies worldwide.

3

SUCCESSFUL ADOPTION OF INNOVATION NEEDS ALIGNMENT

Current frameworks are fragmented and reactive, forcing companies to choose between innovation & protection. It’s time to build alignment and find solutions so AI and the creative economy can advance together.

Quotes From The Experts

  • ARIAM’s goal is not to slow AI down but to ensure it is able to sustain the broader ecosystems long term.

    It is a first-of-its-kind cross content sector coalition seeking to ensure that AI supports human creativity, respects the rule of law, and safeguards consumers. AI developers have a genuine opportunity to ensure that creativity and innovation both flourish.

    Victoria Furniss
    ARIAM CEO & Executive Director
  • Adobe’s mission is empowering everyone to create. We believe creativity is a uniquely human trait, and that AI should amplify human imagination, not replace it. As these technologies evolve, it’s essential that innovation and creator protection advance together. We’re committed to advocating for creator-first policies and to working with the creative community, policymakers and the industry to ensure the creative economy can thrive in the age of AI.

    Louise Pentland
    Chief Legal Officer - Adobe
  • Using AI to break the law can never be an acceptable excuse. Laws around personal safety, intellectual property and financial crime still apply in the age of AI. This is why ARIAM has been created and why I’m proud to working with this necessary initiative”. Developers must build with safety in mind, take responsibility for their designs and ultimately be held liable for outcomes. The lesson from the recent experience of enacting and enforcing regulation in digital markets is that without clear liability being established we will never develop an effective marketplace for AI products and services.

  • For years, parents, teachers and children have relied on well-known characters, media, and educational materials as safe, dependable guides or sources of entertainment. The irresponsible development and use of AI have allowed these to be hijacked and distorted, turning them into agents of harm.   Responsible by design development of AI tools must be at the heart of the way forward. Parents teachers and children need to be able to trust again

  • Responsible AI and respect for copyright must go hand in hand. Wiley is proud to support initiatives that promote transparency, accountability, and practical solutions to prevent and mitigate AI-related infringement while enabling innovation that benefits researchers, educators, creators, and society.

  • AI can serve as a tool to support human creativity, and the immense value it brings to society but it would be wrong to throw away hard-fought for legal protections. 

    By bringing together global stakeholders from film, television, journalism and publishing, ARIAM will put content creators in a stronger position to ensure their rights are properly protected.

    Catie Sheret
    General Counsel - Cambridge University Press & Assessment
  • Without the up-to-date information, analysis, archive material and breaking news that comes from content creators across the media and creative sectors, AI models quickly lose their value. It’s in everyone’s best interests that content creators get a fair return on their investment and this is an important step towards that.
